yum makecache failing since v0.6.2 about yum-epel HOT 2 CLOSED

What version of the yum cookbook are you using?

We might need to pin this to a higher version.

Using your kitchen tests at least more current versions of CentOS seems to
now be failing. I did not try all distros listed in test-kitchen but CentOS
6.5 and CentOS 7.0 are currently not completing convergence. I'm having to
pin to 0.6.0 for now to work around this issue.

CentOS 6.5:

from yum-epel.

So the issue is our corporate network it seems. I'm using a network that should be 'open' but apparently it's not fully open. I just tried again from home with no issues. We didn't have issues before because it was http vs https. The https yum url is what's started causing issues.
